Translation & Subtitles: thoseguiltyeyes | scandal-heaven.com Happy New Year! RINA here. It's now 2023 in no time at all. For New Year's, after our festival performances concluded, I went back to my hometown of Nara on the 31st. I ran out of space on my memory card. I went to Kyoto for my first shrine visit of the year and relaxed in the Kansai area. I got back to Tokyo soon after, but I'm now in Osaka to meet a friend, and we'll be heading to a certain place today to have fun! My friend picked me up from Shin-Osaka Station. Ah, she's back with Starbucks in her hand. So nice. Go right? Yeah. Ah, that looks fun! -Right? -Yeah. They said they transport it by cart. Oh? This is nice. Which one is it? We've arrived at our glamping spot! I'm here with my friend from Osaka. Thanks! So cute! This is my first time glamping. What about camping? I haven't gone camping on my own after becoming an adult. I've done it a few times for work, though. This is so cute. Let's go inside. This is what it's like. So cute! Wow. It's so cute! There are two beds. There you have it. We're staying in a dome-style tent today. It has a warmth to it. We'll be relaxing in the middle of the forest today. There's that thing too, right? Racing around on a scooter. Yeah. Will I be able to do it? You can. The paths are kind of bumpy, though. This is what the eating area looks like. The vibe will probably change when it's nighttime. Can't wait. There's a lonely person here. -This good? -Yeah. You look lonely. Does it look good? From the back... Ah, this is good. Found a good angle. I found a good angle. It's set to 10 kph. Okay. So... You mean you can only ride up to 10 kph? Yeah, currently. It'll start going once you press this. Get on it and kick off. Can I do this? You can. I did get my driver's license, after all. -Ah, that's right. -Yeah. Let's go! This is scary! She's doing her best. It's too bumpy! It's better over here. It's too bumpy! Ah, this is doable. Oh. Come back! -Go ahead. -Thank you! -This is awesome. -Yeah. I'll briefly explain. We'll be eating dinner! It's in the works. There are things to barbecue. There's also soup. There's all sorts of stuff. It all looks fun. I'm excited. Looks good! Is the gas coming out? -Really? -This is scary. Eh, where...? Is it off? It is. It's off? It is. A backdraft might happen. (It's so much fun just to light a fire - The magic of glamping) (It's so much fun just to light a fire - The magic of glamping) We lit it! Let's grill the meat. Ah. Eh? Like, that's not what I was expecting it to be like. With charcoal, isn't it better to do it outside? Yeah. It's a little too cold in here. This is so youthful. Right? This is so nice. It's youthful, but it's also a proper way to have fun as an adult. That's true. It's really nice. I don't have many friends that I can do stuff like this with, so this makes me happy. -Thank you. -Same here! Aw man, I might cry after when we light fireworks. That's totally fine. I'll be like, "Ehh?" How many hours away is Tokyo? About two and a half hours from Shin-Osaka? Yeah, I got to Shin-Osaka in a little under 3 hours, and from Shin-Osaka we drove about an hour to get here. -Thanks for driving as well. -No problem. I'm happy you came to pick me up. Ah, really? I'd do it anytime. I really love to ride in cars. Ah, really? Since I recently learned how to drive, I've really liked driving alone. I also really like it when someone else drives. Then you should drive when we go to wash up later. I didn't bring my Beginner Drivers' Sign with me🔰 You didn't have time to get your license before? Like, up until now, I didn't really... I didn't really think about getting a license. Okay. Then I suddenly thought about how me being able to drive would be more convenient in a lot of ways, like when I visit my hometown. When I decided to get it, I got it right away. Did you go to driving school? I did. Since we were on tour, I'd go in between performances. -But I got my license in two and a half months. -Nice! There are trick questions on the test, aren't there? I was really nervous. I'm really bad with tests. Ah, really? I'm really bad at answering questions that have fixed answers. It makes me really nervous. I studied so hard that my bandmates told me that no one should study that much. Ah, but you got it right away, right? Yeah, I passed on the first go. I see. My heart was really pounding. Everyone's so impressive. They go through all that to get a license, right? Why are they so relaxed when they go take the test? I've always thought that was impressive. Are there any cars you'd like to get? None. I'm not sure. But... I'm sure it's a pain to look for a parking lot in Tokyo, and I can't decide right away. I see. I do rentals right now. I also drive my parents' car. I see. But I really do think that it's the best if you have a car. I love cars too much. It must be convenient to have a car in the city. Yeah. Did you post a New Year's video on YouTube? I haven't. This is probably the first one of the year. Happy New Year! I've just been in the Kansai area for New Year's. -Yeah. -Yeah You have a long break. Yeah. I did go back to Tokyo for two days, though. I've been thinking every year about how much I love Kansai. Really? That's surprising. I really love it. It's comfy, and it fits my sense of time. Do you feel restless? I wonder. Maybe not? It feels more laidback than Tokyo. But I do really like Tokyo for what it is. I can really get into work mode. I like that it gets the creativity going. But Kansai really helps me to recharge. You're charging right now. I am. Has it been a while since you last traveled in Kansai? Let's see. I think it might. I always go to all sorts of places on tour or for a concert, so I never really feel that it's been forever since I've been to a place. You came to Osaka at the end of last year. Yeah, for a festival. Was it fun? It was so much fun. I felt totally spent. Wow. Your outfit was cute. Thanks! It was pretty popular. It looked good. It was a red dress. But it does feel different to come here on vacation. Yeah. That's true. It's cooking really fast here. Looks good. I'll only have my hand appear. Let's eat! Has it been a while since you've traveled with a friend? Yeah. When was the last time? I don't really do that that often. Oh, really? I have gone overseas with my DAISY partner, but I might not have ever traveled with a friend within Japan. -I have with my little sister, though. -I see. (Meeting friends in the dressing room) It's nerve-racking to meet friends in the dressing room. I always think that I'm making them nervous. It's like, "How was the concert?" -Like, you have to be considerate. -Maybe more than being considerate... Like, they have to wait with a lot of people. A lot are lined up. -Tastes good? -Yeah. -Did you get some fish? -Yeah. Wow, this soup. It's good. (Spring 2023 tour) Does your tour go from spring to summer? Or just the spring? It's a short tour that runs from April to May. Where are you playing in Osaka? For Osaka... It's at Bayside. It's in front of Universal Studios Japan. -Ah, the Zepp-run venue? -Yeah. Nice. It's really nice. That area is where I'm from. (Talking about my birthplace) Really? How so? I'm from the Konohana Ward. -Eh, my boyfriend's from there! -Oh, really?! That kind of makes me happy! -You're from there? -Yeah. -You lived in Konohana? -Yeah. -Seriously? -I lived close enough to USJ to walk to it. In Nishikujo. He's also from Nishikujo. Really? -Did you also live in Kasugade? -I did! I went to Kasugade Kindergarten. Is that so? We're the same. So you're really from Osaka. I am. It's my hometown. Did you take people to USJ? I hadn't gone back then. I had moved to Nara. Ah, oh yeah. Were you a thrill ride person or not? I don't like those. But I can do the Juraic Park (Jurassic Park) ride. Oh, really? But in the ride photos you can only see me clinging to the bar. Do you face forward? I do. Wow. I always look at the dinosaur right before the drop, like, "Okay, saw it!" and duck. Let's go and film us bungee jumping for a YouTube video. (An absurd proposal) That would be impossible for me. For YouTube? -Have you ever bungee jumped? -No. (Bungee jumping) -Could you do that? -I totally could. -Have you done it before? -Yeah. -You have? -Yeah. In Nara. In Ikoma. -Where at? -At the Kaiun Bridge. There's a bridge there, and you jump from it. Was it crazy? Yeah. You're like, "Yay!" That's too crazy. (Getting older) With each year there are more things that I'm afraid of. -I get it. -You do? My memory card ran out of space ⠀ Everything was delicious ⠀ 🍽 -Sitting where it's warm... -Yeah. (No idea what we're saying but we seem to be having fun) It's pitch black outside now. It's past 10 pm. Ah, it is? We've been in our dome the whole time, chatting while eating cake. I don't...really know what we talked about... All of it was cut out. This is my first time glamping, and enjoying this relaxing time fits it perfectly. What's next? Bonfire? We'll do a bonfire, wash up... Yeah. Sleep. We'll get up early and have fun tomorrow. Yep! The stars look amazing, right? They really do. They're so bright. Since the air is really nice here? -Yeah? -Yeah -They're really bright. -Yeah. Eh, is that Orion's Belt? Ah, it is. Wow. It looks beautiful. Chop these? Yeah. It's embarrassing how inexperienced we are. Will it work if we stand these up in a triangular formation? You know advanced techniques like that? Do I? (Fireworks for camping) Should we eat banana sandwiches? Okay. It's movie time. Good morning. It's morning now. We'll be eating breakfast now. Ah, the bread's done toasting. So much fun. -It's like we're suddenly in the southern part of the country. -Yeah. We're in Wakayama now. It's been so long. It's warm. Yeah. Wow. It's so pretty. We're at the Senjojiki Rock Plateau in Wakayama. The scenery is so nice! It's so cool here. It's all-white. It feels nice. You can only find this in nature. How far can we go down? You can go pretty far. There's a bird. A black kite? It's a black kite. It's big. It's picking up food. The breeze feels nice, too. Can you walk down? You good? Film a SCANDAL video here. Could we? We could use it. -It'd be cool. -Yeah. It'd look good wearing a dress here. Is it popular to take wedding photos here? Yeah. Here we have a woman who wore boots for glamping, and a woman who is wearing heels. Wearing heels to Senjojiki... Oh, it looks cool here. (She agreed to film) Hold on a sec. Did you fall? Seriously. I can't go this way. How about here? You can go from here. Can I? You're going first? Can you do it? There's water here. Don't fall into that, okay, RINA-chan! x2 Saying that is unnecessary. It's really pretty. It's all sparkly. So sparkly. It kind of looks like a foreign country here. Yeah, it really does. I can hear chimes. Yeah. Can you go up? Next I have to climb up? Can you do it? You're doing it. Wow! This is awesome. Ah, pretend this is a music video! I'm too embarrassed. This is too embarrassing. You glad we came? Yeah, I'm so glad we did. That's good. I can look at stuff like waves and fire forever. We're at an antique shop now. Will we find anything? Plants like these are classic and really cute. -Right? -Yeah. The petals are closed. Ah, they are. -It's cute. -Yeah. We toured around antique shops. I sincerely hope that all of your days this year will be good ones - To make it so, I will carry out my activities such as music while enjoying myself wholeheartedly ⠀ Best regards in 2023 as well☺︎
